Sylvia on the classic 'Via Lara'.
|
Every time I've been to Nissedal I've started with this route.
|
We were fast so we rappelled down and did Sternschnuppe on the same day.
|
The following day we did a route right next to Via Lara. Here you can see the typical 'Via Lara' traffic jam.
|
We did 'Gone with the weed' 6-.
|
The route was ok every now and then...
|
When there were cracks to climb in...
|
And features to hold on to...
|
But mainly it was just flat slabs...
|
With no grips or foot holds, just friction climbing.
|
Sylvia on one of the last pitches, one of the few that did not include a featureless slab.
|
Some picthes were ok, but I don't think I'll be doing this climb again.
|
Now we are on 'Mot Sola', graded 6. A very nice climb which was totaly dry. The last time I did it the entire route was soaking.
|
Sylvia seconding one of the finest pitches in the area.
|
I hate hanging belays.
|
A nice corner and crack pitch.
|
Sylvia getting close to the belay.
|
Sylvia coming up to the traverse after the crux of the route.
|
A belay in the middle of the traverse...
|
But I made the next belay higher up than the intended spot because I did not want another hanging belay.
|
Sylvia comming to the belay before the final pitch.
|
The last grassy part, then it's a one and a half hour walk back down.
